What set-up is next (for you)?

[Recover_E]

Hi everyone! Myself and a couple of business partners are looking to start a launch-pad for hopeful home brewers looking to take the next step on their brewing journey. It begs the question: What equipment would you need to take your brewing to the next level?

A fully electric 20 Gal Blichmann? A 3.5BBL set-up? Just a good burner?

Thanks in advance for any insights you can share!

If I had the funds, I'd go with a Spike Pilot system, 15 gallon and 3 of their fermenters with heating/cooling control.

half barrel unitank and freezer for temp control is on the way this week. Probably next step will be some sort of oxygen free dry hopper.

Next step for my current home brew system?
-Counterflow Chiller
-Maybe swap one of my brewbuckets and wine fridges for a Conical with glycol

Next step beyond that?
-If i'm expanding past that, i might as well open a brewery

Yesterday a buddy of mine says "Since you sold your boat, you should build a temp controlled building in the spot in your yard that you kept it. Turn it into a small brewery with a bar for friends to come hang out."


If only I had that kind of money. haha

Just pulled the trigger on a Brewhardware.com RIMS setup for my eBIAB system. I boil with an induction burner, but this will give me feedback control for mashing. I dont do a lot of stepped mashes, but even if I do, I would not need to automate the entire process.

After that, I hope to get a freezer for fermentation.
